Simple Questions. As the committee gathered in closed session, Texan Johnson pulled out of his pocket his proposed interim statement, already drafted. There he argued not with Republican members, but with Missouri's presidency-bound Democrat Stuart Symington, who nagged insistently for a hard-swinging attack on the Administration for its defense shortcomings.

...bankruptcy." Louisiana's Allen Ellender, chairman of the Senate committee, said Benson would become a "czar," promptly summoned him to a committee inquisition. Benson arrived at 10 a.m. with a 24-page statement, was badgered after the third sentence.

...Change the World." Then Hanisch had a question: "Can this place also make pills?" Striding through the well-lighted, air-conditioned plant, with its white walls and precisely placed blue machines (white and blue are Stuart Co.'s colors), he found a more than satisfactory answer. With an elliptical swimming pool and 30,000 sq. ft. of gold-roofed, pagoda-like recreation shelter in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid to be finished in two months, Pillmaker Hanisch has a building that combines beauty, efficiency, and the atmosphere of a country club...
